Hello Piet Brood,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Cheers,

Good day,

I’ve been lurking on here for a while but realise that I should’ve introduced myself.

I grew up in central South Africa with some sort of hunting tool in hand at all times. I’ve hunted South Africa and Namibia and realised my life-long dream of hunting buffalo in the Zambezi region of Namibia in April 2022.

I have a number of hunting rifles and am currently waiting for my license for a 404 Jeffery.

Thanks for letting me join this forum.

All the best,
Louis
Welcome to the site Louis. We were in the Zambezi delta region last May. My husband was hunting croc and then was hoping to hunt buffalo…but none had moved into the area yet because of the rains and high grasses etc. We still had a fabulous time. Would love to hear more about your buffalo hunt.
 
Welcome aboard Louis. Being the proud owner of a couple of 404 Jeffery(s), I know you are going to love it. Several years ago, one of our members named Gert Odendaal mentioned a gunsmith buddy of his that was making 404(s) out of old K98 actions. I believe his name was Johan Grayling but I'm not positive. Could be the same guy that is building your rifle. When you get it, give us a shout and I'll provide you with a very accurate load for it. That is assuming you reload.
 
Well done on a spectacular hunt Louis, and welcome to AfricaHunting.

Thank you all!

[mention]Shootist43 [/mention] my rifle was built in the late 80s/early 90s by Johan Morkel who currently operates under Morkel & Crouse Riflemakers. He is a reputable gunmaker and I feel fortunate to be able to be the custodian of this gun for a while.
 
Welcome to the family and the forum, you are in the right place!

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
